ORLANDO, Fla., June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wayne Elsey, Founder of 501(c)(3) University, an online educational center for nonprofit leaders and staff announced today that Natasha Golinsky has been named CEO. "Natasha brings extensive experience and a new level of leadership to our organization," said Elsey.  "In light of on-going economic challenges and an increasingly competitive arena, nonprofit organizations need the type of roadmap that 501(c)(3)U offers now more than ever.

Golinksy said, "I am delighted to join 501(c)(3)U and look forward to working with our member organizations. Given the fact that there were nearly 1.8 million nonprofit organizations registered with the IRS in 2012, that means there is about 1 nonprofit for every 175 people living in the United States. The largest group of nonprofits falls under the category of 'Human Service Providers' which can range from homeless shelters to job training to youth development. Unfortunately, many of these organizations are run by well intentioned individuals who have no background in running a nonprofit organization and nowhere to turn for support. It is clear that many nonprofit organizations need help, guidance and resources in order to succeed. 501(c)(3)U can be part of the solution for revitalizing our nonprofit sector by creating and sustaining new dynamics for cultivating and managing charitable initiatives and donations."

According to a recent report, charitable giving in 2013 is slated to increase only 1.6 percent compared with last year, a bleak figure that will likely decline further if charitable deductions are diminished or eliminated. Elsey commented, "Fresh thinking and new options are imperative to helping non-profit organizations and social entrepreneurs achieve their missions and meet their goals. The fact that Natasha has successfully worked with both with for and nonprofit organizations coupled with the fact that she is always looking for creative ways to bring about positive change, makes her the right fit leading 501(c)(3)U.

501(c)(3)U offers learning modules for beginners and seasoned managers that focus on the mastery of seven tracts vital to the success of any non-profit organization: Strategic Planning, Management and Governance, Formation and Compliance, Leadership Development, People Management, Marketing and Communications, and Donor Cultivation and Fundraising. Golinsky's first action as CEO was to announce a reduced fee for enrolling at 501(c)(3)U. The new membership package is now available for $29.99 for a one-year membership. Membership includes access to a moderated members-only forum to exchange ideas and seek help; access to case studies, white papers and eBooks.
